“My husband and I got married here in 2022 and it was perfection! From planning to wedding day everything was so easy and stress free. The ceremony site is to die for and the reception space was large and spacious for all our family and friends. My girls and I loved getting ready in the Lodge and the whole party loved that they could stay right on site and spend the whole weekend there. I cannot recommend Olde Mill Venue enough!”
